  • Brutal! Really sorry to hear that. Sounded like you liked it.

    Thanks man. Almost 20yr long profession, and I think this is finally what's gonna get me to switch things up.

    You should maybe try Nursery work - there are companies out there that supply plants for reclamation projects.

    Funny enough, one of the few gigs I applied to while waiting to hear the news from my boss was in fact a reclamation project, helping with the large dam removal here in OR. They had filled the position already tho. But that is the kind of career pivot I'd love to make!

    But, I do love me some harebrained schemes! I'm all ears if you hear of anything.

    Moving back to the city will be good for me - it's where all my people and support networks are, it's just not what I'd prefer to be doing long term.

  • No more ladies currently growing unfortunately...

    A wildfire a few years ago hurt the business, and an ice storm this last winter sealed the deal - the company folded... About to move back to the city soon in hopes of better employment

  • For me in my line of work N, K and P is always the easiest. It's always Ca and Mg causing problems

    (Sidenote... It hurts that the meme isn't in N-P-K order lol)

  • Nice, I'm bookmarking that one!

    I got this one here a while ago after hearing lots of good things, tho admittedly haven't gotten around to reading it just yet. It's on my short list for next up tho

  • Oregonian here. There's currently over 100 fires burning across our state. 5 of them currently considered mega-fires.

    Our state-level firefighters, as well as the federal-level are seriously, seriously underpaid. If you're the letter-to-politician-writing type, please help advocate for better pay and benefits for our firefighters

    Nope. It's for real.

  • USDA organic standards is what I'm looking for, or other US certs.

    The commercial greenhouse already exists. It's about to get new owners, and is going to change crop types.

    I was asked about the possibility of facilitating the switch, and looking for resources to guide me.

    Can anyone recommend some good resources/reading material for farming organic kale at commercial scale?

    Extra double bonus points for greenhouse production.

    Thanks!!

  • This was the very first Outkast track I ever heard!

    Still goes hard all these years later.

  • The size of your flower room, as well as the amount of, and size of, your carbon filters and fans would be relevant info.

    Carbon filters do have a lifespan. And their lifespan is also affected by the overall humidity in your room while they're running. (Higher humidity reduces it..)

    I wasn't sure where to post this specifically. But I believe this history lesson to be of some value presently.

    Edit: if this isn't a good fit for the c/ feel free to remove it. If there's a better space on slrpnk for it, please do recommend it.

    LYRICS

    I shot a gun today

    For the first time

    I was surprised at how Easy it was

    And man it made me feel so powerful

    I think I'm ready to start a revolution

    .

    We got elections coming up

    I don’t know who I wanna pick

    A criminal or a racist pig

    It's the same damn thing every couple years

    I think it's time to overthrow the government

    .

    So I was getting myself ready for the revolution

    Getting myself ready for the revolution

    ’til I remembered I have work in the morning

    The revolution will have to wait 'til after 5 PM I guess

    .

    Spent the summer on the road

    Driving through the desert and mountains, sleeping on

    Floors and couches

    Whoever said you needed money to travel

    Didn't have many friends

    Now I'm back in Pennsylvania

    Sleeping until 11 AM

    My friends they call me lazy, they just don't get it

    I'm dreami

    Months later, footage was released of Seattle Police Officers Guild Vice President Daniel Auderer joking about Kandula’s death over the phone with SPOG President Mike Solan.

    In that recording, Auderer can be heard laughing as he referred to Kandula as “a regular person,” going on to say, “Just write a check -- $11,000, she was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”

    The tribe will also install a small biodigester, which will use bacteria to break down organic material in the absence of air — referred to as an anaerobic environment — and turn it to methane for cooking and fertilizer for the tribe’s community garden.
